I don’t have oldest child syndrome or middle child syndrome or youngest child syndrome or only child syndrome but a secret fourth thing (twin syndrome)
Growing up with ppl telling u how lucky u are to be a twin and how cute and unique twins are and “I wish I had twins” or “I wish I was a twin”. Meanwhile ur twin is beating ur lights out every other day (as siblings do) and u hate her guts so so much. And all u want is for ppl to see you bcus u just want to be seen as an individual and not like a doll in a set, but everyone only sees u and ur sister, twins. So ur mom dresses u in matching outfits and ppl call u ur sister’s name (ur not identical ur just so strongly associated with ur sister that even ur friends and teachers who u like to believe care about u and value u don’t even see u as a separate person). And meanwhile ur suffering with some bad gender dysphoria which u keep trying to voice but no one’s listening—and being treated like a cute girly accessory is not helping.
